Sigh - DD has a prom type thing but lower key - cocktail rather than ball dress type. She doesn't want to wear a standard cocktail dress but either a tuxudo or a fairy core dress. HELP ! Where do I look ? For the dress its tricky to find something not too formal. She's yr 9 size 8

What does fairy core mean?

Here to know what core means/ fairy core???

What is she attending? Sounds fun! My little one loves anything fairy.

Click on the link. Think Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Had to Google fairycore! I’d it’s not too dressy, can she wear DMs to dress something fancier down? I love that look.

Will she do preloved?

You are all amazing - sorry to be slow coming back. I too had to google fairy core - seems to be a sort of goth fairy in a corset in green. Your suggestions are much more achievable - thank you so much I will go through them with her but they look great ! I hadn't found the Etsy link and this one looks like it might do the trick

Will update with what we go for - thank you again I had no idea where to start

None of the JJ's House links work sadly.

Love that Depop dress @Spudlet , I would wear that for a night out ;)

Her response was THEY ARE FAB , with for a teen is high praise indeed

Thanks all

Is she going to wear pointy elf ears? (not joke ones, the realistic looking ones. Prosthetics?)

If she wants to look a bit edgier, could wear with a pair of black fingerless gloves.

Have you thought about shoes? Clumpy boots would look good

Well fairycore (new to me too!) looks simply lovely but it also looks very dressy to me so I'm still a bit confused 😁

DM's as foot wear

My issue exactly ! Faircore and cocktail and wanting to not be overdressed dont seem to all fit together so I think she may have to choose ( or take the frock below with some ears - love that thought !)
-she loves the Etsy one but worries its too formal
